    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    Yes. Though many publications today are written as though spoken, it is incorrect in formal English (and all Germanic and Latin languages) to write with contractions, slang, or dialect, except when using a quote or writing dialogue.

    I'll give it a try. As kids, I would put all my might, hate, and strength into punching him, and he would just laugh. That's when I learned to fight dirty - pulling hair, biting, and punching in "vital areas." ;) :offtopic: Have you ever seen the movie Single White Female? Jennifer Jason...

    Attorneys and Barristers of the Lounge

    I'm not actually in law school, since I'm only going to be a Paralegal, but this case was referenced in one of my textbooks talking about search warrants. My knowledge actually comes from classes I took on American History (which incidentally, I won academic awards for). :) US law schools I'm...

    Show us your vintage knitting and crochet!

    I can't see too well, but the ribbing appears to be K2 P2 garter sts. Definitely knit swatches for any technique you aren't familiar with. While you're knitting, you'll notice that the knits protrude to the wrong side, while the purls protrude to the right side facing. It's also a good idea...

    Is a good crease worth 3rd degree burns and torching the house? ...

    It's probably wrong - I fell for that guarantee a long time ago. My dad made me buy him new trousers! Definitely get a new cord. Exposed wires = electrocution = not very fun.

    I know its cynical, but I find most modern writers write the way people will understand :rolleyes:

    Are you a Military wife?

    Yes, but somberly, if you know what I mean. A lot of people show up in sweatshirts and jeans, which is so disrespectful. The city counselors and (most) wives will be wearing dressy coats, and dark clothes. I usually wear a simple dress under my long black coat and high heeled boots. :) Gotta...

    Thank you Ephraim :) I think that hairdo came out quite well! As for your poser, I'll tell you what I know over our wine: Charles Pratt ruled that the raid of John Entick's home by Crown Officers searching for evidence of political subversion were unlawful and without authority (Entick vs...

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    Exactly. I speak French fluently, but it took me a long time to adjust to the correct style of speech. The French are very concise - there are 4,000 words in French, and over 8,000 in English, so most English words simply do not have a translation. When translating directly into French, I now...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Amazing flick! I think I'll watch that tomorrow night. Tonight, I have to finish Take Me Out to the Ball Game, with Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, and MGM's own mermaid, Esther Williams. It's sad how underrated as an actress she was. She spends 90% of this film out of water, and is great.

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    You're right - One need not take everything from a book or point of view, only what they agree with. My brother was being a real pill today. I visited my mum for a bit, and showed her my shoes. He says "Did you ever think that some nasty old lady was wearing those shoes, with corns on her...

    Are you a Military wife?

    Yep! There's a yearly one in Brampton where his regiment is. The battalion stands attention around a large war memorial in the town square, with the cadets behind them (They are cute!) We also go back to our high school every year to help out with their ceremony. Kyle wears his combats and...

    Vintage Weddings

    I don't think my mum would be devastated if I didn't wear her dress - upset maybe, but only temporarily. She's not sentimental about things like clothes. Here's the problem: Granny is 86 and suffers from Alzheimer's disease. If she did agree to let me wear it, she would likely not...

    Are you a Military wife?

    You're right - It's very hard not to become resentful when it interferes with your relationship. The training will help promote him to MCpl, which he's been wanting a long time; Besides, the pay rise will help out a lot! Chin is now up in the air. Now we won't have to use that pay rise for...

    I've always wanted to shop at Canada's largest mall, now I want to more :D I agree. I don't think you have to be religious to have respect for yourself - Maybe there is a different site out there?

    Anyone know of any sites for vintage clothing for a student budget?

    It's remarkably more easy to find classic or vintage inspired staples in modern stores than one would think. Example: Beret: Le Chateâu. Jacket & pencil skirt: Dynamite. White shirt: Old Navy. Seamed stockings: The Bay (Sears for USA). The only item I didn't purchase new were my shoes...

    Are you a Military wife?

    Maybe so, but I'm not PMS-ing and my eyes got misty too. :o Many thanks, Dutchess. Stupid Kyle signed up for weekend training on base, now I'll only get to see him every 2 weeks until March :( :mad: So cancel the spooky Hallowe'en dinner I was going to make for us. I feel kind of like I...
